Cosmic superstrings revisited in light of NANOGrav 15-year data
J Ellis, M Lewicki, C Lin, V Vaskonen - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We analyze cosmic superstring models in light of NANOGrav 15-year pulsar timing data. A
good fit is found for a string tension G μ∼ 10-12–10-11 and a string intercommutation …
